Justin Bieber took to Instagram to pay tribute to his beloved grandfather, Bruce Dale, who recently passed away at the age of 80. In a heartfelt post, Bieber shared an old photo of himself with Dale and reminisced about the special bond they shared.
In his emotional tribute, Bieber fondly recalled how his grandfather would always give him his allowance of $20 for the week, despite initially being reluctant. Bieber would often convince Dale to spend the money on snacks at hockey games on Friday nights, indulging in treats like corn nuts, skittles, gum balls, chuck a puck, and slush puppies.
Bieber also humorously mentioned how his grandfather was never shy about expressing his opinions to the junior B referees, Beatty, Fagon, and Flanagan, for their questionable calls during games. Despite the heckling, Bieber remembered Dale with love and laughter, knowing that he is now watching over him from heaven.
The pop star expressed his longing to see his grandfather again in the afterlife, where he imagines Dale might still be teasing the referees for missing calls. Bieber concluded his tribute by acknowledging the pain of his loss, but also cherishing the memories of the wonderful times they shared.
The heartfelt tribute from Bieber serves as a touching reminder of the special relationship he had with his grandfather and the impact that Dale had on his life. The post is a beautiful tribute to a cherished family member and a testament to the enduring love that transcends even death.
